Chapter 826: Fake Mega! Battle of Inheritance!_2

Fang Yuan waved his hand, although he didn't know why Master Tao Xiuying had appeared here, he certainly lacked the confidence to pass the sixth challenge in his current state.

He had come now only to scout out the information and rules in advance and then... to set up camp and rest right here.

There was still more than a day left, so what was the rush.

Fang Yuan fell silent for a moment before turning to Master Tao Xiuying and asking, "So Master Tao, may I know what the rules of the sixth challenge are?"

"Yes," she replied.

Even though Fang Yuan wasn't ready to take on the challenge immediately, Master Tao Xiuying still nodded her head.

She gazed into the distance and said, "Come."

As her words fell, a shadow instantly appeared in the sky, as if leaping from afar.

With the shadow gracefully landing, Fang Yuan, Eevee, Monferno, and Rotom all got a clear view of which Pokemon it was.

"Cha!!"

This was a Pokemon with a head of white feathers, sharp talons, and strong, bandage-wrapped legs.

Its feathers were extremely splendid, blue eyes, and the contrasting colors of its body highlighted its extraordinary temperament.

Blaze Chicken.

However, it looked somewhat different from a regular Blaziken.

For instance, the shape of the feathers on this Blaze Chicken had completely changed, and it had four long ribbons of flame on its arms, emitting a strong essence of the Fire of Life.

"This is..."

The moment he saw this Blaze Chicken, Fang Yuan's expression stiffened and he was somewhat surprised inside.

This Blaziken's appearance really seemed like an incomplete Mega Blaziken!!

It retained the appearance of a regular Blaziken while also having characteristics of a Mega Blaziken!

"Wuah!!"

"Bwoo!!!"

"Rotom??"

Apart from Fang Yuan, Monferno and the others were also quite surprised.

Because they could feel that the flames wrapping this Blaze Chicken were indeed the Fire of Life condensed by the Legendary Elf, Fire God Moltres!!

How could a Blaze Chicken be carrying these flames???

In the midst of all the Pokemon's confusion, Master Tao Xiuying stroked the Blaze Chicken next to her and said:

"The rules for the sixth challenge are as follows: 12VS1 regular battle, my only Pokemon is this Blaze Chicken. Each Pokemon is allowed to carry one item, and this child carries the Fire of Life."

As Master Tao Xiuying finished speaking, Fang Yuan became thoughtful.

Half-mega evolved with the help of the Fire of Life??

Incredible...

The baseline strength of this Blaziken, although not at the Species Limit, should be quite close to it.

But after being equipped with the Fire of Life, the strength it could reach was something Fang Yuan had trouble evaluating.

However, the rules of this challenge were very similar to those of the second challenge, so this Blaziken's true strength must be beyond that of a race limit sprite, which is to say... Quasi-guardian god level???

Fang Yuan felt a headache coming on.

This battle seemed no easier than the previous fifth challenge.

......

With the appearance of the pseudo-Mega Blaziken, everyone turned to Master Xu Yifeng of the Twelve Branches in the conference room.

It was well known that his ace Pokemon was also a Blaziken.

Clearly, everyone wanted to hear his opinion.

Master Xu Yifeng chuckled. This was his first time seeing Master Tao Xiuying's Blaziken in this state.

When it came to strength, under normal circumstances, his Blaziken was far stronger than Tao Xiuying's.

But now, seeing this specially conditioned Blaziken, he suddenly felt that its mastery of fire might be able to contend with his Blaziken's mastery of fighting.

The Fire of Life... Legendary Tools... how wonderful.

"Hahaha."

President Wen, who was responsible for selecting Gatekeepers, was the only person present who knew the true strength of this Blaziken.

With a look of enjoying the spectacle, he said, "Master Tao has really put a lot of determination into this..."

Most top Trainers in Hua Nation knew that Tao Xiuying was one of the few Trainers who possessed Legendary Tools and resources from her personal adventures.

However, Tao Xiuying rarely, if ever, relied on the Fire of Life's power in battle.

And now, Tao Xiuying was bringing out the Fire of Life as a battle item for Blaziken to carry, which clearly meant some changes had been made.

President Wen knew that Master Tao Xiuying's purpose in becoming a Gatekeeper was to provide Fang Yuan with a certain level of help. Could Fang Yuan take this opportunity?

......

"What I've just spoken about are the basic rules of the sixth challenge. However, in addition to these rules, there is a special rule I've set. Would you like to hear it?"

On the mountain path, Master Tao Xiuying and Fang Yuan stood on opposite sides.

"A special rule?"

"What is it?"

Master Tao Xiuying said, "If you can defeat me, this Fire of Life can subsequently be yours to keep permanently, helping you and Monferno reach further,"

"The condition is that you and your Pokemon can gain its recognition in battle."

Master Tao Xiuying spoke calmly, clearly having made up her mind.

After the World Championship, she felt that such Legendary resources like the Fire of Life should not remain with a retired Trainer like herself, who was one foot in the grave.

It should be handed over to a younger Trainer more suited to it...

In Hua Nation, apart from Fang Yuan, Master Tao Xiuying couldn't find a second person suitable.

Tao Xiuying knew that the Monferno possessed a fighting technique with severe side effects, and only the Fire of Life could help alleviate it.

This flame, if kept with her, would at most create a Quasi-guardian god level combat power, but if Fang Yuan could gain the flame's recognition, what would be created then was infinite potential.
